perspective...    life is as hard or as simple as we make it. â€œgenreâ€...  another label devised to divide things that need no separation.   there are simply two types of music, that which is found to be pleasing to the listener and “everything else.† and in truth, music that is not in the favorites category can be appreciated and learned from just the same.   that said, dont limit your listening/learning to western scales, composition and timings...  there is literally a whole world of unique influences from which to draw upon,  allowing any faithful student an opportunity to create a truly individual approach to sculpting sound...as such, nothing much has changed excepting for the items with which we cause the air to vibrate...  one of our oldest instruments, the voice,  is pretty much the same as it was way back when, so in some respects we are still making music precisely the same as we did from day one...   

its quite a simple matter to smile when life is going your way.  a true test of ones spirit is seen in the ability to smile from your heart when everything is going wrong...   may you realize you have reason to smile with every breath...  peace and balance...
